VOLA

Since 1968, we have taken pride in our authentic Danish design heritage and exceptional craftsmanship, and will continue to uphold our original values. OUR ORIGINAL DESIGN HERITAGE At the forefront of Danish design since 1968 VOLA created the modern tap in 1968. Following the original designs by Arne Jacobsen and Verner Overgaard for the National Bank of Denmark we continue to combine exceptional Danish design with the traditions of craftsmanship at our factory in Horsens, Denmark. LEAN PRODUCTION Made in Denmark We are proud to only make to order. This ensures we maintain control of every aspect of production. But also, importantly, it allows us to make efficient use of resources and reduce our energy consumption as well as the volume of materials used. This means we can recover and reuse the material waste from production to make new products. OUR MODULARITY SYSTEM Infinite flexibility built in to suit any layout Designed with Arne Jacobsen’s original 111, HV1 and KV1 proportions, the VOLA modular system’s family of parts, including levers, handles, spouts and plates, are all interchangeable. The modular system means that VOLA fits into any design scheme and allows customisation to respond to changing lifestyles and interior specifications. OUR COLOURS AND FINISHES Personalise any product with our colour and finish Every VOLA product is available in a wide range of colours and metallic finishes, giving limitless creative possibilities. This variety means that VOLA is endlessly customisable, blending in or standing out within a design scheme as required. LONG-LASTING Designed and built to last generations Our blend of traditional craftsmanship and innovative engineering guarantees each product meets the highest standards of quality, durability and longevity. Using only top-grade stainless steel and brass, we prioritise precision soldering, flawless finishes, and meticulous hand-testing through our unique production methods. OUR PROMISE Repairable and updatable. Since 1968. For life. We plan our products’ endurance by designing them to be easily updated to extend their life and adapt to changing needs. Parts are still available for every VOLA product ever made. This ensures that they remain an investment for the future. Our history VOLA has epitomised the enduring power of craft, style, and honest materials for five decades. OUR DESIGN HERITAGE The first VOLA taps were designed for the National Bank of Denmark by Arne Jacobsen. Arne Jacobsen (1902-71) graduated from the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in 1927. His breakthrough as an architect came in 1929 with the winning design for the contest on the House of the Future which was really the introduction of modern architecture on Danish ground. VOLA THE ORIGINAL The idea Shortly after Arne Jacobsen won a competition in 1961 for his design of the National Bank of Denmark he was contacted by the owner of VOLA A/S, Verner Overgaard, who introduced his proposal for a new type of wall-mounted mixer tap. He imagined a design where all the mechanical parts of the mixer are hidden leaving only the handles and spout exposed. At the time this was a completely new concept, but Jacobsen realized that this idea combined with his functional approach to design could be developed. With that basic principle in mind, the simple and concise VOLA design that we know today was conceived. Since Jacobsen's death in 1971, Teit Weylandt, one of Arne Jacobsen's former assistants, and later on the design department of Aarhus Arkitekterne A/S along with the late VOLA Director Carsten Overgaard, continued to introduce new products into the world of the famous VOLA range. Thus establishing VOLA as an international brand whilst keeping the original principles of excellent design and functionality.
